Here is a resume of my impressions so far. Im 20 hours in and on chapter 10 atm. Enjoying a lot so far but it has some minor shortcomings for me.
-Both arcs are amazing, Kazuma and (specially) Majima shine a lot as protagonists. The dialogues and the story are great and very interesting.
-Some weird cutscenes choices though. There are like 4 different types of cutscenes (including two where the characters lips dont move at all). And sometimes they will have a very cinematic cutscene and then a small cut to black and keep going with a cutscenes but on a different style, which makes the pacing feel weird
-Also the overstaying of story sequences sometimes breaks the momentum of the story itself. Like there are moments that are perfect for a break with a combat segment, but before that they will throw in a long dialogue thats pretty useless that cuts the tension before the fight starts.
-Funny as hell and cool but also a bit overstaying side quests sometimes. Not a issue though, since they are very interesting.
-Side activities (Karaoke, Arcades. Clubs, etc) are all amazing and incredibly well worked. Srsly, its insane how much there is to do and how much fun even the simplest ones are. The variety is pretty great too.
-Combat is simple yet crazy fun. Beeing able to change combat styles on the fly makes it feel less like some button smash crazyness. I really like the styles itself too, very different from each other. It can become a bit repetitive when roaming the disctrics, but then in missions with enviroments designed for it its stellar.
-Upgrade systems for combat are fine and somewhat deep, but I dont feel that they are that necessary atm. I have few upgrades bought and yet Im going through the game on normal pretty easy.
So yeah, I really like the game a lot despite some stuff about its pace. I know a lot of my pros and cons here are not news at all to players that are more familiar with the series, this might be more worth it to newcomers (which are very welcome to start with this one)
